5 Pack - ELECTECK 15A/125V Tamper Resistant GFCI Outlets, Duplex Receptacle with LED Indicator, Decor Wall Plate and Screws Included, Red Button for RESET and Black for TEST, ETL Certified, White

I placed an order for these online. To bring a house I was selling up to code, I used the following line. After installing one of these in place of the first standard outlet, I realized there was something wrong with the electricity that I couldn't figure out. As a result, I sought the services of an electrician. He wondered if I had made a mistake, with no malice intended. Things that are wired. I wasn't offended, because I'm not an electrician. I was delighted to allow him to provide me with a low-cost service. The cost of this "simple fix" is estimated to be in the thousands of dollars. in order to take the place of the existing outlets He called me back a few hours later, confirming that I was correct in my assessment of the situation - because the outlet's wires were faulty A lizard had gotten into the breaker box and had cooked himself. He was causing even more wonkiness because he was crossing two poles. br>If you're just replacing standard outlets, this isn't a problem. a well-wired system Everything is going to work out. If the wiring and/or electricity that runs through them is unusual, call a professional. Hopefully, you'll be able to find an electrician who believes you're a moron as well. will be sufficient to resolve the issue without charging you for the time it takes to resolve it.

" Likes: appears to be in good working order dislikes: it is well-made and sturdybr>br>dislikes: it is not well-made and sturdybr>br>dislikes (1) As with all GFCI units, there appears to be a high risk of failure right out of the box; the unit is typically locked in a tripped state and will not reset - which, of course, is only discovered after the installation has been completed. (2) The unit is larger than a standard outlet, making it more difficult to fit into an opening designed for one. br>br>I purchased a five-pack, but the first one I installed would not reset from the tripped shipping condition. I was not happy about having to go through the entire process twice because it was in a small box in a difficult-to-reach location.

When it is tripped, it should turn off. When the house I renovated was inspected, I needed to replace the first five I put in. I had purchased another 5 pack for inventory, but these were also defective, and it was past the return date, so I wasted $110 on them - I'm completely dissatisfied with this manufacturer and Amazon because they don't stand behind their products. Clearly, Amazon is not a good place to shop for essential office supplies.

They had been opened, the labels had been removed, and they were no longer functional. br>br>** Update *
br>ELECTECK contacted me regarding my product issues and apologized profusely for the shipping error. Overall, I received a great product at a great price; yes, there was an initial issue, but the interest in making things right made all the difference. All I ask is to work with someone who cares about the success of your experience. Thank you! br>br>.

Nonetheless, I decided to try these. If you've never taken an electrical course, I recommend starting with a few YouTube videos. br>br>First and foremost, GFCI adapters are lead-free. load: To put it another way, you'll need to know which wires coming out of your wall are energized and which are not. Most outlets have a set of lead (hot) and load (cold) wires because that's how a parallel circuit works, and these came with lovely labels on the back to let you know which color of wire goes on which side. If your outlet does not have a green light, try the following: The lead wires are most likely on the load side, and the load wires are on the lead side. br>br>I'm not trying to waste anyone's time with a pointless review; I just needed to vent about a particularly aggravating blunder on my part for a while.

These are 20 bulkier than the Leviton GFCI equivalent. When you have to fit this into an existing older box, it's difficult to use them in a renovation. br>br>If you want to wire it with screw terminals, it can be difficult. The opening around the screw head is narrow, with shallow sides. It may be difficult to slip the wire under the screw head and bend it around the terminal as a result of this. br>br>When fully opened, the screw also does not protrude as far. If you order ahead of time, you can save money. It's difficult to get the wire under the screw head if you bend the hook.


If you are a DIYer with time to tinker and relatively new construction these are a great value, 25% less than Leviton. If you're a pro who cares about installation speed, stay away from this product.

The best advice I can give you is to stay away from them. Once you're on the task, the screws will wear out, and restarting is a pain. I couldn't believe how much time I wasted trying to install these (I've installed a LOT of GFCIs, and these were by far the worst). The other reason is that the wire can only be inserted in one direction. into the back hole, which has a tightening tab (not an auto crimp or an outside tab). Let's just say these ended up in the trash, and I replaced them with better ones from the big box store. These aren't something I'd consider purchasing.

It was quite dangerous, according to the electrician. The issue is that it's difficult to get a partial refund from Amazon when you buy five packs. When this happens, it's all or nothing, and I'm not going to uninstall the ones that worked to get a full refund. The cost of labor would exceed the value of the refund. They require more stringent quality control. Buyer beware is the bottom line. Purchase a larger quantity than you require.
